A wonderful lesson in experimenting with color, different types of tools and adding texture to a painting. Each child used a variety of colors to paint paper and then used different tools to create textures in his/her artwork. This is the technique Eric Carle uses to create his wonderful illustrations. Each child glued his/her name with cut out letters from the same type of paper. Magnificent and colorful results!!! What amazing artists!
